  1. While Given is a good keeper, I do wonder who's decision it was to offer him such a long contract. Hindsight is a massive factor in these situations. When you hear stories of River Plate offering a 19 year old Falcao to us for 7 million pounds during O'Neill's tenure and O'Neill declining that to sign Heskey instead, you just wanna
  2. Unfortunately lost 2-0. Bebe and (the old enemy) Macheda scoring for them. Villa now sit 3rd on the ladder with Tottenham in first place and Man U in second.
  3. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. I'll leave you to decide who is who. ... Also, Stoke are dicks.
  4. You bring on Delph to go for the draw and not concede.
  5. We need someone in the mould of a Diame / Dembele / Yaya Toure. Someone who can win the ball back when needed and/or rampage forward with good strength and purpose. Anyone know a player like that in the lower leagues or abroad who would be within our guesstimated budget? I guess that's the million dollar question.
  6. He's a player whose mind works much faster than his feet a lot of the time. I think that's why a fair few of his first touches can be so poor. I reckon he has a certain level of technical ability (gained from almost a decade in the Eredivisie) but I don't think he's used to the pace of the Premier League yet. From his performances so far, I think he's been improving, in terms of linking up with teammates and finding space. Hope the goal gives him the extra boost to kick on.
  7. Went to see Tame Impala last night at The Forum here in Melbourne. They're doing their first Australian tour starting here. It was my first ever live gig. A wicked performance at an awesome venue.
  8. Looks like we should add the "Son of God" as another famous Villa supporter.
  9. From an article on the OS... Trying a 3 man defense after only a couple days of training is either incredibly ballsy or very silly.
  10. I would think it's only a matter of time before we see Drennan, Burke and Carruthers get a shot at the first team. Week after week, they seem to be doing the business, both in the U21's and the Next Gen. In Carruthers' couple of appearances for the first team, he looks like a tricky player who is wanting to take on defenders, something we don't have at the moment.
  11. I think people are getting too carried away with this "30 page dossier" business. The report was probably just "Yeah, he looks pretty good. Let's get him" just in 50pt Impact font.
  12. A deal has already been done. He's been sold. We're just keeping him in cotton wool. I'm not ITK by the way. Just bullshitting.
  13. To be fair, his "miracle ball" on Saturday at least, was quite accurate. Hardly turned it over and switched the play from the center out to the wide players effectively. I think he is our best corner taker as well.

    I know the Mirror has a record of publishing rubbish sometimes but I thought this was a nice article. Sheer class: Aston Villa and their fans deserve full credit for the way they're looking after Stiliyan Petrov
  15. From the Mirror article in relation to this: Maybe he did something we don't know about.
